JustOneMinute, in typically brilliant fashion, sums up Nicholas Kristof's advice to the Democrats:

(1) Be obviously and sincerely religious;(2) Be pro-choice, but anti-abortion;(3) Be a man.

Our guess is that on a different day, he would add (4) Don't be Joe Lieberman.

Here's a shameless tip from Dean's World on increasing blog traffic: mention "Mario Vasquez". As I stated in a previous post, however, I am above such cheap stunts as speculating on why Mario Vasquez quit American Idol. In fact, I am even above mentioning Mario Vasquez walking out on Letterman's Top Ten List. If the only way to get people to come to your blog is to mention Mario Vasquez repeatedly, then I'm afraid I'll just get left behind (due to my policy of not mentioning Mario Vasquez).
